network-engineer

A specialist for designing, securing, and troubleshooting computer networks across cloud providers and on-premises systems. It covers connections between services, traffic routing, encryption, monitoring, and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud networking; multi-cloud links; content delivery networks; load balancing; zero-trust designs; service meshes; network automation; and compliance work.
Why use it?
It helps when network designs span several platforms or when slow, unreliable, or exposed connections are difficult to diagnose. It brings related security and traffic-management decisions together.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

network-engineer scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
